Outlier. That is the close from friday. Theyre having a bank holiday in the uk. Finally, take a look at where we are on crude. Its been sliding throughout the morning. Its been in focus for equities here in the u. S. And across the world. Wti just slipped below 47 a barrel. Its down 1. 5 . Brent is trading roughly lower by about the same. That is below 50 a barrel. Scott . Loud noises at Los Angeles International airport causing panic late last night as many confused the sounds for gunshots. Passengers at lax were seen running from terminals on to a tarmac after Police Responded to 911 calls from many locations about a shooting at the airport. Around 11 45 p. M. Eastern time. Police conducted two sweeps and concluded the reports were unfounded and there was no shooting. In business news. Look for personal income and spending. On tuesday, we get the home price index and august consumer confidence. Wednesday, its adp employment report. Chicago pmi and pending home sales on thursday. Look for the revised Second Quarter productivity and the ism Manufacturing Index. On friday, we close out the week with the august employment report. What do you mean jobs report already . Yeah. I was thinking that, too. I realized it was this friday. It was also i was also thinking august 29th, bummer. The end of summer. Reminds me of the sonnet, what you see in the leaves and what you see in me. Colors are changing, im getting wrinkly. I dont go back to school but i get that feeling, that dread. The pits. Exactly. Everybody says, i dont know who was here last week, it gets confusing. Was it you . You used to love going back to school for the close . Love it. The annual trip to targets to get the new lunchbox. Focus on the supplies. I dont care how many supplies you get, i dont care how many clothes you get theres nothing zero. After the summer. You get used to that the three months, remember when you were a little kid, three months was forever. Youre never going back to school. Stocks to watch today. I mentioned this at the open. Roche says that the fda issued an emergency use authorization for a viral test for zika. The test is easy to use and can allow doctors to quickly detect the virus. The mosquito bites. The mosquitoes love me. I dont know if its my blood she was somewhere i mean, summer up north in new hampshire. Thats fine. You get weird. They find me wherever i am. They find me. The guardian is reporting that mylans ceo sold 100,000 of her shares earlier this month for a profit of 5 million. It took place august 9th, really before any of the controversy. It was the same day that mylan reported earnings but before everything hit the fan over the price of epipens. Mylan says that the move was part of a predetermined stock sale which work really well for people that can always just fall back on that, right . Remember, it was the famous angelo ma zillow, remember him. It was all, no, no, no. Hard for me to say. That sounds like elmer if you had. Country wide. Elmer fudd. I know who he is. Im driving in my car, remember that . Do i want to what . Mansion and a yacht. My name is elmer j. Fudd, i own a mansion and a yacht. Do you remember that episode . No, i do not. Killed the rabbit. Killed the rabbit my name is elmer j. Fudd was he a millionaire . I thought he was a hunter. Probably he was that too. I better pull that up for you. The two of us together. Were tackling life ease deep questions on quack box. It is 6 00 a. M. , it is a monday. You look it up. Theyre jointly developed cholesterol drug met targets. Its intended for patients with my cholesterol who dont respond to statins which are the most commonly prescribed medicine for that condition. I tell you, the drug industry without dealing with cholesterol for 20 years, would they have sold anything else . Theyve really been whipping that i guess it does matter. Heart disease. I think theres a good linkage between high cholesterol and heart disease. Lipitor, i think of all of drugs selling epipens too. It wasnt as lucrative as for the last couple years. We mentioned mylan under fire for it its going to launch a generic epipen auto injector at a discount of more than 50 from the brand name product. The list price will be 300 for a twopack. Mylan expects to launch that product in several weeks pending completion of labeling revisions which is weird. Theyre launching a generic against their own thing. Just begs the question that i think its coming down at any time. Is this different than just cutting the price to 150 per epipen . How is it different than that when youre the company introducing the generic . Like folding, dont you think, wapner . Yeah. Theyve hiked the price twice in the last 12 months. A 15 each time. Weve talked about this. You need competition. You need competition or else theres no otherwise, you have to maybe you just need more or less. That doesnt equate how would you ever thats the whole idea of capital itch. You never know this is not capitalism. The Drug Delivery had they decide on every price, every product a Company Sells a pharaoh owe. Common sense decides at some point. Common sense should play a role in the conversation too. Id rather not leave common sense every Single Person has a different idea of common sense. Every Single Person has a different idea of fairness. Id rather have the market dictate how much you can charge. Who other than the ceo, the board and shareholders of mylan look at the price hikes and the ridiculously absorb tant price of the epipen and say thats cool. Measure margins. Theres no way that because theyre so good at making chips should charge a fair margin price is 10 . Unless the if intels guy was moral as all, theres no way hed sit there and charge 60 margins. And drugs cost pennies to make. Some of them 50,000. Theres so many things that go into it. Is there a difference because the income chip isnt saving your life . Theres no way that you can leave pricing to some type of subjective fairness analysis. Is has to be a did the cost of making an epipen go up 600 . The doing this to make a ridiculous point. You know im right about this. What dictates pricing there needs to be pushback. Just read there. There needs to be competition and innovation. Someone says i can make an epipen and make a decent profit for 80. Should it have been i dont know what how you decide. I know theres no competitors. Im going to jack the price up to outer space thats capitalism. Thats what you try to maximize profits. Thats something that all private companies try to do for shareholders. Maximize profits. Until it becomes where someone else comes in and says oh, no, thats way too much. Were going to do it for this much and somebody else comes in and weve got innovation, weve invested, were going to do it for this much. We have employees working harder and more productive. Were going to do it for this much. You cant expect people to say, whats a good price, 140, 380. I feel better if i charge 80. Its not the red cross. If you want all utilities maybe there should be zero profit. You pay your expenses and youre done. Im not saying theyre not valid points. Im saying, this is not the way that the best of capitalism is supposed to work. Im sorry, thats not it. Im not leaving people to decide whats right and whats wrong with this. You cant decide things like that. I think i dont think anybody needs to decide whats right or wrong. You look at the price hike of x 100 over what period of time of time it is and say really . Thats cool . Yes, shareholders. Shareholders until someone comes along and undercuts you you say that if youre of course they should. If youre a mylan shareholder and you see that this has happened and draws all this scrutiny, are you happy with that or say what is our ceo thinking. Thats not maximizing profits. Then youve gone too far. Are we there . Probably. Youre arriving at that point a different way. Youre still talking about maximizing profits. But the pr is hurting the companys ability for shareholders. Then you would if you want to go that route, thats fine. Capitalism needs to work with competition. Its the governments fault for not having more i dont know what fda was thinking about not allowing generics. I dont either. Blame them. Its always the government, you know that. I do. Im sending you the link to the elmer j. Fudd thing right now. He would not have become a billionaire without capitalism. This is my we are counting down to fridays jobs report. Joining us now it Deutsche Bank chief u. S. Economist and executive Vice President of northern trust. Good to have you both us. Joe, well start with you. Youre right here. Friday jobs report, sealed the deal for september. This friday. No. I mean, if the number is really strong. 300,000plus the Unemployment Rate falls. What if its 200,000. Thats strong. It is. Thats a good number. The fed looks at the market. Theyre hostage to markets. Its getting crazy. The market has been offsides on this all along. They have said the fed is not going to go. Fed funds futures going into friday were, i dont know what the numbers were. It was zero a month or so ago. The fed was saying on friday, the market is wrong. Fed has been wrong pretty much but the market has been saying the rate is about 1 . The feds have been saying 4 and reduced it to 3. 5 and put it to 3. Its kind of pathetic. The market is saying theyre going to go once this year, which i think is right. I still think december. December. Carl, what do you think . So im always confused when people say the markets are saying one thing or another. Who are these people. They think theres a 75 chance well get a rate increase by the end of the year. You have to be careful in inferring fed forecasts because trading is influenced by a lot of factors other than what Monetary Policy ought to be. That said, markets are not reacting in the manner you would expect after a strong employment report and some speeches. Theyve backed off chances that well get an increase at the end of the year. If the fed thinks the market misunderstands, theres a clear our economy is in fine shape. In order to avoid financial excess down the road, were going to remove excessive monetary accommodation. The market has been dictating to the fed all along. Kb what i said with joe, this is the first time to get the conversation back if you will. It one is dictating the other. It is ideal for markets. The market has though few surprises lead to greater financial stability. Which is what all banks are seeking. Its undeniable. Dictated to the fed. If you look back the last since at least bernanke can go back to greece. The fed has never moved on a hike without fed funds futures pricing Something Like 70 chance. This fed is led by the market perpetually. The fed has arguably little credibility. Doesnt matter what stan fischer says. When lease man interviewed him i thought that was sexist. The fed has always covered itself with the fact that its policy [ overlapping talking ]. Yellen, its what i was reading from different didnt do much on the talks. The thing, joe, is that yellen is super its yellen and dudley for the most part. Fischer has been perceived more hawkishly. When fischer came out so soon avielle ens talk on friday, they figure why do [ overlapping talking ]. Why not price it at minus 30e. We should go to negative profitability. Negative Interest Rates. Might as well go to negative probability. The fed will have a credibility problem again. [ overlapping talking ]. When leashman came out, he said yes and yes. Thats the way you should read yellens comments. Sure, absolutely. They probably think they can move in november or late october, which is absurd. Of course not. When you say strong employment report, i guess if the report is so ridiculously strong and the market prices are going to move, i guess they could go. This is sort of the supervised situation where the got the data. Its absurd. The economy is Strong Enough the economy stinks. I used to be bullish. The economy has grown barely above 1 . In nominal terms, shrinking. This is a horrible economy. Its hard to take 2 3 of the economy out of the equation. You got to remover the consumer. Weve had an inventory correction the last couple of quarters. Were seven years into an expansion. You would expect growth owe. [ overlapping talking ]. Weve had deleveraging going on at societies and globally at all levels. Thats held down demand. I dont think you can dismiss the demand side of whats going on. Right now, weve had great job creation. It creates a lot of demand to carry over to Consumer Spending. This is theres still potential momentum here. I also dont want to overplay the idea that even if the economy is weak, the reason we have low levels of Interest Rates are driving investors into places they dont normally go, could be a problem. There is a problem. We have house prices back to where they were in 2006. Commercial real estate was mentioned once again during jackson hole and in the fed minutes as a source of concern. Youve got equity valuations and im not an investment professional, so i dont play in that sand box. Some would say they have been pressed to multiples that are not natural for this point in the earnings cycle because investors are trying to avoid low Interest Rates and realize their yield objectives. Ziemt carl, thanks for joining us. Joe good to see you. Coming up, carl icahn and bill akman sparring over her balanceife. Donald trump looking to set up questions over his immigration policy. Giving a major speech on wednesday on the topic and in arizona. Were joined with a recap of the weekends top political stories when we return. [announcer] is it a force of nature . Or a sales event . The summer of audi sales event is here. Get up to a 5,000 bonus on select audi models. Carl icahn buying additional shares late on friday. The billionaire investor may have been interested in exiting in august. Jeffries and. Ubs were working independently to find investors. But nothing materialized. In a statement icahn denies he attempted to sell his stake, rejecting claims that were made in a squawk box interview here on friday morning that he had been offered some of icahns shares. Icahn didnt dispute he recently considered selling but blasted ackman saying, it amazes me a guy with no knowledge of my internal investment thinking believes hes in a position to go on television to tell the world what i am thinking. Were joined with more now. This was huge news on friday morning on this set. Really continued throughout the entire day. It did. I really cant believe the way the story continues to unfold. I think there are a couple of key points to bring up here. I think there are two issues. Joe and i were talking about this during the break. Number one, did carl try to sell and it sounds like he confirms at least considering sell for a moment in time there. Or was there something a little more nuanced going on, like the idea of soliciting bids for a block of shares as opposed to say outright, im unloading these, what can we do here. Lets play sound from ackman that clarifies this point. Were trying to take a block trade to take carl out. I said absolutely not. There were kind of everyone laughed about it. Then they said, obviously we can get carl out that, will help you. I said thats true. So what i said to him, i said, look, go find buyers for this thing. If you can find buyers, thats great. They went shopping, looking for potential buyers. Okay. So my read here, i think theres word parsing going on. Its clear that at least for a brief period, icahn acknowledges considering selling and apparently engaged jeffries and possibly ubs to help him out, see who was out there. Ackman was a possible phone call. Does ak man get in over his skis when he tries to say this is what carl is thinking and is carl right to shut him down in that regard. When someone sends a signal, that obviously tells the market something. If youre on the other side of the trade, youre going to interpret that as you will. To me, coming on air talking about that seems like fair game. Want to go a step further and buy more . We talk about how icahn has deep pockets, especially with the herbal life trade, ackman offended a lot of people going short and people took the other side even without strong convictio convictions. He did that as an owe he that was a total [ overlapping talking ]. There you go. The reason he did it. Look x ackman said he bought at 30. He doubles his money at 60. Thats all he had to say. For him to say this indicates that carl knows this is a scam and carl thinks this is toast and the Business Model is going to change because of this settlement, hes telling people carl, i dont think he wants to be seen as someone who just was expedient in a scam, took his double and then got out. I think carl has said this is a real company. Right. Hes on the board. He must think so. He doesnt think its a scam. Ackman went too far. He opened his big mouth and said look, carl thinks its toast. When i was watching, it was like he should have left well enough alone. Thats bilk bill, isnt it, scott . Talk his book, again. I wonder how the day would have transpired had there been no interview in morning . He might be out. The first question is, well never know in. Who leaked the story to the wall street journal. The mere existence of the story was going to spur this. I think at some point certainly ackman was going to weigh in and maybe icahn too. So you got to wonder, was that sort of a loose lip third party with no ax to grind. Was that one. Parties on either side. Again, we wont know. The mere existence of that story got the ball rolling. Youve seen ackman and how ruthless hes been talking about herbal life. Going on a podium on tv to get the narrative out that its a pyramid. Hes not pulled any punches. The latest thing is to say icahn agrees with me that its a pyramid. Its going to be toast. Even hes the last man standing, all the other guys are out. Icahn is now out. It was another way to drive the shares of herbal life down again. If he had strong conviction about the company and wanted to make it a longterm play, why would he briefly consider selling it . Hes already made it a longterm play. Its up like 75 . No question about it. Since he bought it. I dont think anybody could have predict add at the end of the day on friday given what happened on this show in the morning that icahn would have i saw that. I laughed. He could be out next week. Who knows with carl. Remember apple . That was like a week later it was going to a trillion dollar market capital. A week later, boy, im out imt carl is mercurial, right . Hes the most unemotional investor i dont know this was emotional on friday. On the fundamentals of the investment itself. But you can see obviously, theres emotions about [ overlapping talking ]. For them to issue a dividend and buyback and all of the above that he wanted. After a couple of years the point is correct that this has been a longterm play for him. I dont know if we have that chart handy. But hes made incredible returns on it. Like 77, 78 when i was looking at the life of the investment. Late december it was 2013 until now. However, if he felt like it had great prospects Going Forward im sorry 12. Why would he have considered selling it . Granted, its been a great investment. To the credibility and the belief in the company question, you would stay in it longer if you felt strongly about that. Ackman on friday, he had me convinced that the settlement was going he had me convinced that the only people that buy anything are distributors. If you have to book revenues with what ends up in the hands of the people it would be like zero. He was implying that icahn said the same thing. To see icahn come back at 60. I would answer your question. When carl went when an investment runs its course with carl, it runs its course. Thats it. Done. Move on to the next one. Thats what i mean about being unemotional and making those kinds of decisions. The stock went up 70someodd percent since he bought it. He sees that. Maybe theres questions about the settlement, whats it going to be mean for the business going down the road. Ive made great money. I do believe in the business but at some point they all end. Hes willing that guy is willing to lose 50 million to make a point. He is. Why wouldnt he be . He has how many billion . 10, 15, 20. Something like that. The key Counter Point to ackmans on the earnings erosion of this company that would bolster carls fundamental point of view would seem to be, its just the u. S. Business that reached the settlement. By the way, the settlement has not kicked in. All the International Businesses are unaffected. Can go on doing what theyre doing. Its a relatively small slice of the revenue pie. Even if it erodes, it could take a long time and they could bolster the overseas operations to counteract whatever losses are here. It was an amazing day. Following it from away and participating in it to some respects as well to crazy day. We missed you. Good stuff. Kate, thanks. Thank you. Speaking of carl icahn. He will be one of the speakers joining a blockbuster lineup for the delivering alpha investor summit produced by cnbc and institutional investor. Well hear from treasury secretary jack lew.

Antiepipen price hike thing. Everything should be a utility typo owe. Just boycotting. We agree with each other on both the points, i know that. You know what, you know who really understands fair pricing and morality . Congress. While were pricing any of that stuff, get legislation in there. Let the Democratic Congress control pricing on all of this stuff. Theyre very moral. Coming up, headlines from the campaign trail plus well show you we agree more than we disagree.

Most major averages would be open just about one point at it hour. Stocks to watch, mylan will launch an auto injector at a discount of more than 50 from the brand name product that has been under so much scrutiny. The list price will be 300 and thats for a twopack. The company, of course, has been under fire for hiking the price of epipens multiple times in the last decade. They plan to launch it in several weeks pending label a quick turn around for that company on that product. Time now for the executive edge. Were talking politics. Lets get to the highlights on the campaign trail over the weekend. Ammon, next week is labor day. Supposedly, thats an important period in election years. Its also the u. S. Open, which is there are some good things about early september. Its still summer. You dont really feel like summer is over yet. You got some good things. Like maybe the is it good that the Campaign Starts in earnest . I dont know if i can take it. The campaign started in earnest months ago. This is typically as you say a slow weekend in august. Its back to school day for my kid. A lot of people not focused on the campaign trail. I dont know where to begin, joe. So many headlines. Start with confusion on the campaign trail and over what their position is on immigration, including in the heres what Reince Priebus had to say. Were going to build a great wall on the bordered and were going to institute nationwide everify, stop Illegal Immigrants from accessing welfare and entitlements and develop an exit entry. You know what that is. Exit entry system to ensure those who overstay visas that theyre quickly removed. That was not the Reince Priebus bite i was hoping to play there. The term of the Republican Committee was on tv over the weekend saying he wasnt sure what the republican plan is on immigration. Were going to see donald trump on wednesday as you just saw in that sound bite. Hes going to come out with a larger speech on immigration. Some question about whether hes softening his immigration approach in attempts to reach out to independents and suburban vote who are might be put off by his hard line stance during the primary. Where the Trump Campaign ends up on immigration, key issue into the fall. Also there was a sound bite from the former head of Barack Obamas talking about donald trump and his emotional and psychological temperament. Basically theres a psychopath running for president. He meets the clinical definition. Diagnosing people on arrow owe i assume you dont have a degree in psychology. Is that fair . Were jumping to conclusions here. This is what gets voters frustrated. Listen, the grandiose notion of selfworth, pathological, lack of empathy and remorse. So the clinical definition of a psychopath, according to the democrats anyway, thats donald trump. Meanwhile, mike pence on television as well continuing to hammer away at the Clinton Foundation saying that the Clinton Foundation is yet another example of pay to play politics. Guys, we also learned that both candidates had begun their preps for the first president ial debate in october. So well see where that lands. All of this a big political stew going into the week, guys. Yes. Psychopath the same as a sociopath, isnt it . It is. Ive done a lot of research on this, joe. Yeah. I mean, look, somebody who doesnt have empathy, scientifically. Somebody who doesnt have feelings for other people. They look at the way other people respond emotionally to things and thats how you they do feel a lot of they suffer themselves and think that they understand suffering within themselves. Whether you can psychoanalyze a guy watching him on tv i know ted bundy was a sociopa sociopath. I know that. Iman, thank you. Im going to leave it there. Safe to do that. Smart.

Joining us is christina guerr o guerrero, founder and ceo. Appeared on shark tank last year to strike a deal with damon john. Now on track to hit a Million Dollars in sales this year. Hopefully. Fingers crossed. How do you decide this is what dogs needed . There werent enough snacks and you needed to im an avid outdoorsman. I get outdoors a lot. Im in the back country, hiking. Now im a mom. Im always with my dogs. New generation, i grew up, my dogs were stay at home pets. Now theyre always out with me. What i found when i was out, i had a real hard time remembering dog food, kind of bringing a bowl, bringing things with me. I wanted something quick and easy and on the go. So it was really important for me to have something healthy when i was out with my dogs that could sustain their energy. Does a dog know the difference between that and normal potentially cheaper dog food . I think my dog loves the bars way more. You say its not a snack. What does that mean . It sounds like a snack. Actually the pet Food Industry has certain definitions that differentiate a meal from a snack. So for me, when i made the bars, these bars, i made sure that they met the criteria to be a meal. Its like a meal replacement, like a regular human being . Exactly. But its healthy. When youre out and about, you really shouldnt be feeding your dogs treats. I liken it to giving someone a bag of skittles. You want to give them something filling and nutritious for their health. Dogs are really interesting. You mean skittles arent good . Theyre good but not for the athlete. But youre giving them roast duck and kale . This is the new super food snacks. They launched in Kroger Stores this month. Again, you know, i wanted a healthy alternative. Not something thats full of sugar, something unhealthy for dogs. You feel good about giving it to your dog. Can we have joe taste test them . No thanks. You are a dog owner. I. I got three dogs. They gain a little bit of weight. I have a puppy, German Shepherd puppy. You cant believe what he eats twice a day. I would rather give him protein because his muscles were growing. Do adult dogs, will protein still help maintain weight better than carbs or something . Actually, a dog burn protein and fat as main energy source. Not like humans. They dont burn carbs first. When we made this, i was thoughtful on it. I have a German Shepherd mix. Theyre incredible. I have one thats six months old. Gives you a run for your money. 24 hours. It is. When you said youre a mom. Do you have children . Or were you talking about dogs . Some people are like that. They are. The bars went from my backpack to my diaper bag. You flew c 130s in the air force. That is cool. Thats incredible. Wish you must success. Best of luck, kristina. Kristina guerrero with turbo pup. Narrowing his talking about retaking the cup. Looks like its with him after three consecutive euro wins. I wonder if they know hes got it. Start getting used to it davis. The door is now closed on automatic u. S. Qualifying for upcoming ryder cup. Rickie fowler had a chance to grab an automatic spot yesterday at the barclays but lost it. He lost it on the double and birdied the next one. U. S. And european teams not completely set. Joining us for more on how america can take back the cup davis love iii team captain for u. S. You brought the cup with us, which is cool. Thank you for joining us. Dont let Darren Clarke know i have it. Exactly. Rickie, yesterday he had to finish better than third. He had finish third alone to secure his spot. How many more chances . Two more weeks, three. Then we pick the last one before we go to the ryder cup. I tell players youve got another chance. You pick them before fedex event after bmw, then a week off and then the tour championship. Bubba came back from the olympics and he was worried. Im not playing this week, what do you think . Ive got to pick the night before we go. Dont worry about it. Rickie needs to play fedex and not worry about it. The olympic didnt throw a wrench in the timing . There was some scuttle about that. Rickie was down there two weeks. He missed two pga tournaments where he could have gotten points. Might be some guys on my team. Were trying to win this thing back. Im somewhere between left hand low, right hand low, claw. Cache you off the list. Rickie, right . Rickie, been big part of a lot of teams since cory pavin picked him. I was his assistant. Hes great on the team. He had a lot of intangibles other than golf. Everybody loves to be around him. Weve got a lot of great players. Really anybody who made it to the top 100 Deutsche Bank is in. Somebody in the top 100 could win fedexcup. On europe team weve got who . They have their nine. Tomorrow darren announces his pick. Once he picks, then i can start thinking who can i match up. Were one up. Carried the sign for darren, said she loved him. Talked to her the entire time, found out everything about her. One of the nicest guys in the game. Were both thrilled were doing it at the same time, get to spend time together. Weve got a little wager who wins. Were going to have a fun trip after ryder cup no matter who wins. Some quads. We have so many that get along really well, Rickie Fowler. Hes not on yet. Still gets along well with the guys. Matt kuchar is not on but he brings a lot to the team. Sean ohair played really well. Moore won and played well last week. I could take any four guys in the top 30 and wed have a great team. Have you thought long and hard, im sure you have, everybody has dissected it over the years, why its been so difficult for the u. S. To win the ryder cup as of late. Weve thought long and hard. We want to win so badly we get in our way. Rickie didnt make any bogeys, then all of a sudden started making bogeys. Started trying to win and beat patrick. Hitting for birdies instead of the middle of the green. We try to hard for something we want very badly and get in our own way. Last time you were captain, thats like watching slow motion train. Was that worse than anything thats happened in your own personal career . It was. It was tough for me because i know how much the team put into being prepared. They played great friday, saturday, better than any u. S. Team that played. Other guys had something to do with it. Dustin rose. Four ahead. Poulter. Almost unbeatable in ryder cup. We lost momentum.

Faas new rules for commercial drones go into effect today. Pilots must pass air nautical exam before they have to fly but they dont have to get pilots license, which was a point of context. Under rules drones must be under 55 pounds. They cant fly at night or higher than 400 feet and they have to remain in visual contact with the operator. The new rules include limits to hamper arrival of some Drone Services like packaged delivery which amazon, dominos and others have been seeking. I was just thinking of dominoes when you were reading the story. Are you hungry . Im always hungry. I think i saw something over the weekend about dominos and drones. I was just thinking about it. Will there come a time we all have goggles, those things flying around. What if the operator isnt in the range to see the drone. Thatsing someday, isnt it . Delete from the rules because you cant do delivery if you have to stay inside. Might as well deliver it if youre going to be there. Right . The operator, the pepperoni. You like pepperoni .

Janet yellen speaking friday signaling a rate hike could come sooner than expected. Join us with more on where markets are heading, investments Portfolio Manager and mike ryan ubs chief investment strategist. Do you really think she signaled it will come sooner or set the market up, more of the same, data looked good, at some point well do it. I think at some point well, i dont know about september. How strong the Employment Data is, how much were starting to see price targets of 2 . I certainly think december is the most hikely but i wouldnt rule out september. If we do get a flurry of strong unexpected data, we could well see something in september. Do you see the fed moving the goalpost, even if we get a strong employment report weve heard stan fisher say maybe should be 3 , gdp growth, maybe setting our sights elsewhere. What is the fed actually looking at . I think what the fed is showing us, by everything they have been doing, how cautious they are doing, looking at data point, airing on the side of caution. I think this. I dont know why they need to hurry. From their perspective rates are gradually moving higher. We all know rates are gradually moving higher. As Equity Investor i dont know if i care. Rates can move higher as long as curve isnt too steep. I think they are showing us the slope of the curve is not going to be that steep. Im sorry. Assuming the fed is able to control the curve. Theres some question obviously if they will lose control, if they are already have they lost control of rates, have all Central Banks sort of lost control. Yeah, to some extent, i think thats why for the first time that ive ever heard them say, but maybe you know differently, they are talking about paying attention to things happening outside of the umbrellas. First time they have ever said that. Thats because were in a much more globally dynamic environment than weve ever been before. So they are thinking about whats gdp in china when they think about whether we raise rates. It is more complicated than it has been. I think thats why they have been so cautious. The u. S. Economy in good shape. I think they want wiggle room to have Interest Rates higher. Mike, if you need money parked in bonds or recommend money parked in bonds, whats the safest . You still need some encome in portfolios. The notion you simply wont have everything rolled into shortterm investments because the fed is poised to raise rates, i dont agree with that. Physical of all, i think its a gradual pragmatic rate rise. Well be at this low in terms of Interest Rates. Feds ability to control the curve, they cant completely control the curve. When you own an awful lot of treasuries, thats going to limit mou far the rate back even if we do see Interest Rates. There are really two distinctive side to the stories, whether you think the economy is good, as you say or as joe sitting here earlier said the economy is terrible. It shows you the differing views people have on where really we are. Fundamentally different views on where this economy is, it plays into how you think we should invest in the market. The markets, i think u. S. Economy is in relatively solid shape. Not robust growth, the kind of growth weve seen prior but the economy is actually doing okay. What the fed is concerned about is whats happening in the rest of the world. The fed cant unilaterally go out and raise rates when the rest of the world is struggling for positive gdp growth. Margaret, if youre putting money in u. S. Equities which you have recommended putting focus, where can you get value. The majority of strategists, where ku find i think thats fair. I would agree. I dont necessarily see overall market as being mispriced but i think theres opportunity in places like biotech, which i realize is not particular popular right now. Biotech is really inexpensive. Look at selgen, trading at 15 times. Even with much more modest pricing assumptions Going Forward, Company Still generating double digit earning growth. I think biotech, if youre willing to be patient and look beyond the election, which i think people are so myopically focused on very shortterm. Look longer term and those are interesting companies. Weve got to leave it there. Margaret, appreciate it. Take care. Latest read on home prices, heading higher faster than expected. Now some are worried another housing bubble is in the making. Diana olick joins us now with more. Hi. Ten years ago home prices hit their peak of the housing boom and we all know what happened after that. Values dropped for six years by the most in history. But somehow we are almost back to where we were. Take a look june marks 50 consecutive months of annual home price appreciation with prices up 33 from that bottom in 2012. A new report from black Night Financial Services put the home prices in june at 265,000. That is within just 1. 1 of a new record high. The difference today from a decade ago is that these prices are not being driven by faulty mortgage products that people cant afford. They are driven by a severe lack of supply of homes for sale as well as record low mortgage rates. Going locally of the nations 40 largest cities, 14 have already seen home prices cross to new highs, austin, boston, dallas, pittsburgh, portland, oregon, San Francisco and seattle. Only st. Louis saw home prices drop annually. Apparently there is thankfully a limit. San jose, who has some of the highest home prices in the nation, did fall off its peak an gains in San Francisco are shrinking. Thats some good news. Right, guys . I guess so. Well see later in the week what the data bring for now, diana, thank you. Coming up on squawk box, after a week that saw stocks fall 50 and ceo Heather Bresch named pharmaceutical industrys latest villain what is next in the epipen saga. Whats new . Crude prices falling 3. 5 since august peak, down 1. 5 this morning. Here is a look at where we are trading. More on where oil is going when squawk comes right back. So its indigital. Digidustrial. Indigenous. Shhhh. Lets go with digital industrial. For now. Digidustrial. Yeah. Or, digital instrial. Were back the epipen controversy raising fear level among big pharma levels that price scrutiny will spread across the industry. Meg tirrell joins us with more. Reporter this is something they have been extremely concerned about. Mylan raised epipens cumulatively over time. I think we have to focus on the news about milans generic competitor making this announcement essentially that mylan its self will launch first generic epipen cutting the list price in half to 300 for twopeek. Authorized generic identical to the branded Product Available in the same strengths and make this available over next few weeks. Ive been trying to understand what this means this morning. The company doesnt need to seek additional fda approval for authorized generic since they already made the product. Importantly its going to be ab rated. When its ab rated, a pharmacist can swap it in automatically for products. You go to the doctor, they write epipen on your prescription they give epipen generic which is made by the same company that makes epipen. Ive been talking to analysts this morning, thank you for answering emails at 6 30 this morning. This is typical to do for a company to make an authorized generic version of their product to be ready to launch when a generic launches. Whats unique is we dont have that mylan launching early. Ive been talking to other folks saying it looks like they are cutting the price, generic half as expensive on the face, so seals like maybe they will lose money. Actually, if they are rebating so much on the branded epipen and they have cut this price of generic to 300, they actually might be able to make the same amount, maybe more on unit cost of generic if they arent facing rebate precious. Mylan is up. If you look at teva trying to get the generic epipen approved. Who gets the branded version when they go to the pharmacy . Its a great question. I dont know. Do you have to say i want the branded epipen to the pharmacist so they write, do not swap, its made by the same manufacturer and the same product. Its a very interesting, confusing situation. The whole quagmire of the way drugs are biosimilar, biological agents, how they get protection, every country is different. Youve got 12 years and extended release. Its not a free market. Thats the problem. Its not where competition it cant be because of the cost to develop these things are so prohibitive that nothing would be develop if you didnt have patent protection. Its a mess. Will you stick around, meg . Sure. Well solve it right here. Lets talk more about the role the fda should or should not play in pricing. Joining us former Principle Deputy commissioner with fda, currently associate dean Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of health. Doctor, its good to see you. So one thing we need that i can see you feel strongly about, maybe the whole generic process needs to be maybe revamped or reformed in some way or at least be more transparent. That would be the first step. Well, the gern aircraft drug market accomplished a tremendous amount, 90 are generics, over a trillion dollars in savings. People expect generics to be there to lower the price of drugs. Whats really been shocking over the last few years, its the generics themselves that have gone up so much in price. People didnt expect to be hit in that direction . You make the point that in a Perfect World there would be competition and it would simple. We wouldnt have to worry about these things. You need competitors, but you also say there should be limits on pure profiteering. How would that work . Who would come you with the limits . How would you decide on whats profiteering and what isnt. Another law . Another agency, more regulations written, more red tape for companies to go through to decide how to price their drugs . This isnt unique to pharmaceuticals. If theres a hurricane people arent allowed to jack up the price of gas or jack you the price of water. In some of these circumstances the companies are creating their own hurricane. They are making lifesaving drugs for no reason other than to extract money go up in price by 100 fold or more. That kind of situation people inherently understand is unfair. This isnt a case it cost more to produce or some supply issue. This is a case people decided, hey, peoples lives depend on this, lets dramatically increase the price right there. Sort of like the surgeon right as youre getting surgery saying, by the way, were going to take your house for this surgery. This wasnt a weather event or hurricane. This was nothing that changed, a gas crisis, this has been going on the last five, six, seven years they have been doing that. There should have been other companies without a barrier to entry to come in here and do that. Epinephrine has been around how many hundred years, that wasnt similar to what you described at all. There should be competition for this. You cant snap your fingers and have other people in the market. You are pointing out something very important. Ku have both things. You can have companies essentially acting like profiteers on lifesaving medicine but also have the need for more competition. In this case there are some things that fda is starting to do and can continue to do to facilitate competitor products getting on the market. For example, you would put a second competitor in line ahead of the 19th competitor. Youve got 18 generics on the market, that 19th isnt as important to the Health Care System where its the second competitor. The eye of the beholder. Profiteering is the eye of the beholder. Who is beholder. A drug that cost 300,000, every democratic person in congress would have called that profiteering so genzyme wouldnt charge this. If congress was the eye of the beholder, everybody with that disease wouldnt have a drug to take. Im saying something different. Im not talking about goshet. Who decides on profiteering, congress . Im talking about new drugs. Nothing changed but cost went up 100 fold fl people know thats unfair. Attorney general of maryland has written it would not be hard to apply those type of profiteering laws that work for gasoline and wat water, nothing different. Not r d, drugs on the market for years very low cost then going up 100, 200 fold, Something Like that, people know is wrong. Doctor, arent we even having this conversation in some respects because the agency you used to be an official with is too slow approving drugs, approving generics. There could have been a generic version of epipen on the market but the fda hasnt approved it. At the end of the day, isnt that the problem . I dont think thats fair because i think that the fda made a very important point with these injectors, which is a different issue. If a pharmacist is going to substitute an injector, it has to work the same way. If a coy comes in with a product that doesnt work the same way, thats very different for families. I mean, you wouldnt want to be trained to use one device and pick up a different device. Theres very the room for error with injector. I think to say fda, its almost the same, go ahead and approve it isnt fair to families whose childs life is on the line. Doctor, quickly, were almost out of time. You mentioned this issue of again arab drugs prices spiking. What in the near term to not go through the approval process when you have a spike of a drug price . I think its important for policy to try to deter that Business Strategy, the Business Strategy of saying were just going to take something already on the market and jack up the price because we can. Theres a couple of ways to deter it, accelerate applications, which they are doing. In some circumstances they can authorize importation temporarily of similar products from europe, for example, if the drug is really priced out of reach here. I dont think thats a great thing. I think the fact fda would do it could deter the business practice, totally unfair, produces no value except essentially for a profiteer. I dont know what youd use, whether youd use margins. I dont know how you decide. If you use margins everything intel sells should be they are profiteering, they get 60 margins. Fairness whenever you use fairness in terms of how youre doing things, thats in the high of the beholder. You can see the way this has been demagogued, this entire issue. If it turns around and ends up causing price controls and loose innovation, were going to look back and say there shouldnt have been this demagogue fl anyway, doctor, thanks for your time and thanks for being with us. Thanks for having me. Meg up as well. Coming up, controversy continues you took both sides. You were on my side for that. I told you i disagree with some of your arguments. You know what thats called, psychopath. You dont believe either side. Os connected. Businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. Coming up, a fund manager whose bread and butter is tech. Finding value in financials, paul meeks joins us to discuss his latest stock picks. As we head to break, u. S.

Ery seco that power is out, my citys at risk. Siemens digital grid manages d reroutes power, so service can be restored within seconds. Priority number one is keeping those lights on. It takes ingenuity to defeat the nsters that live in the dark. Among stories front and center mylan announcing it will launch generic epipen injector at 50 of its brand name. List price will be 300 for twopack. The company has been under fire for hiking the price of ep pens. Mylan expects to launch the product in several weeks pending completion of labeling revisions. Carl icahn bought 2 million shares of herbalife friday. The billionaire investor may have been interested in exiting part of his position early in august. Jeffries and ubs working independently for icahns massive stik in the supplement company but nothing materialized. In a statement he denies he attempted to sell his stakes in an interview right here on cnbc that he had been offered some of icahns shares. Icahn didnt dispute he considered selling but palaced him. It amazes me that a guy who hasnt any knowledge of my internal invest think thinking believes he is in a position to say that. Some scrutiny from republican lawmakers, leaders and voters, the issue deporting undocumented immigrants. His campaign saying today, quote, trump has been completely consistent on his plans. Again, that speech happens on wednesday. Time now that music was like sort of builds up a little bit. You know about judge wapner. You know whats going on with him . I dont. Alive or dead . Alive. How old. 90. Six. 96. 96. Is that right . November 15th, 1915. Hes still going strong. Hes retired. Judge i know what it is. You know what it is. I just have wondered because that music clearly kayla has never watched i know the music. By now. Still god bless him, a great programmer, still living off survivor, which is embarrassing. Latest survivor again. Genex versus millennials, is that you . I dont even know who gen ex is. How do they survive . Cell phones . Cant snapchat on the island what do they do . Start twitching and go through full withdrawal on the island. Watch and find out. Whats working, talk to investors about whats playing well in their portfolios. Lets bring in tech investor paul meeks. Tech has obviously been great this year. Does it continue to be so . Actually right now i see more opportunities to short some tech names because the tech sector poor at the beginning of the year but on fire last couple of weeks. I had some great opportunities, for example, four tech stocks in my portfolio, tech guru, no surprise. Right now i think they are all fully valued and then some. What would you short . There is a company i actually wrote an article about for cnbc, a Company Called Power Solutions, psix. I worry about Power Solutions and i also worry about that, whenever you see a Company Delay quarter financials, thats a very bad sign. Both companies have. Are you short both those names . Not hane but Power Solutions. What works, old tech, microsoft, cisco, et cetera, and socalled fangs had a nice comeback in their own right. How do you view both distinct groups . The way i look at it is you do not want to have Client Server hardware oriented names from the 80s and 90s. The only one i really like because i think they have had a nice metamorphosis under their ceo is microsoft. All other ones you want to avoid. Not necessarily today but any reasonable dip in the cloud super powers, which is microsoft, google, amazon sales force . Salesforce. Com because they are dominant in software and service. No ibm. No. Ibm has put together a cloud franchise through kind of patchwork with acquisitions. Im not impressed with them. Of course that Company Continues to grow or actually shrink on a quarterly basis every time they report for the last two or three years. What about these fang stock, facebooks of the world. I like facebook very much. The way i look at it, facebook still has a lot of runway because they havent exploited fully and mondetized video. This is a Company Profit margin two or three x the company, last years revenues 60 . I think plenty of runway. When i say runway, target price 30 higher. That could be one of those stocks. I know its not lumped into your old 80s tech, but obviously that stock had a great run. Some question how much better can it get . I actually think it can get better, unexploited, at least as of now, with video and messaging. What about apple . Do you own it now . Ive had apple in the past. The problem with apple, i think its a value stock now. Right . It has a yield s p 500 plus. The problem as we know, 60 to 70 of revenues with the iphone greater proportion of operating income, you have this lull between the generations of the seven to the eight. Maybe slower, undeniably so. Excuse me, that doesnt mean that the story is over. No, no, no. I actually think if the stock gets down to 89, which was its low, it might be a buy. I dont think you have it as an ultimate growth stock consistently anymore. Its a value stock, buy it on dips. It has a nice protection on the bottom because it generates about 1 billion of Free Cash Flow per week. Who hits trillion dollar mark first . Amazon, google or apple . I think apple may get there first temporarily speaking the ramp of their next phone. Got to be 200. Could be. Not buying it until 89. Not got at 200, im waiting for 89. You asked me which one could. I think it has the best chance. In the longterm im not so bullish on it. As she said, google. Other people are changeing to amazon. How do you ever discount that . The nice thing about amazon, i live in seattle, i have a good read on it. Everybody focuses on amazon web services, totally dominating as a service space. On the other hand at long last, remember this is a company that went public in the late 90s, even their etailing business showing operating leverage and market expansion. Remember, weve been waiting a decade or more with that. Facebook, aramco. Thats a safe bet. Perfect segue actually. It is. Oil prices falling, rising output from iraq, joining us where prices could be headed next matt smith clipper data commodity research. What i can tell when people talk b to you about what you think, matt. The rally, people buying into it, jawboning, saudis continue to go for market share . Exactly. Weve got saudi basically last month they hit their record in terms of production. We track their crude loadings. They are at 7. 5 Million Barrels a day in terms of exports. Up over 1 Million Barrels a day since early last year. They are putting more oil onto the market. Were seeing more oil on the market from iran to iraq. The rhetoric and the actual actions are very different. I cant use regular usually. I bought some regular in a rental car, 2. 15. I cant help but think that felt really good when i bought it. It has to feel good to a lot of people. Good times. 2. 20 on the national average. Were coming up to labor day. July 4th weekend was the most people driving in a decade. Were likely to see that this weekend as well. Demand is relatively strong but price is relatively weak as well. Inventories up 8. 5 on gas year over year. Right. Thats correct, yeah. So the 47 number, you think the new range is 40 to 50 . Were going to stay there for how long . Into next year. Were not going to start to move higher until we see the production biting from these projects that are not coming online. Until that point, were going to be seeing probably 200 moving average de los 40 at providing some support. Once we get up to around 50, youre saying recounts ticking high. Youre seeing permian basing a lot of investment into it. There is production response in the u. S. At the same time you have saudis, irans, iraqs putting oil onto the market. The band of 40 to 50 is good. What does iran want its market share to be . As much as it possibly can be. Whats possible . They are stalling out, i believe. They got up to 2. 5 million a day in exports and they are stuck there. Thats where they got to in may. Their production 3. 6 Million Barrels a day but its been there for a couple months now. I think they really want to get up to 4. Theres no reason to talk about a production freeze when they really are targeting production 10 higher than where it is now. You think the september conversation in algeria will just result in nothing . Result in nothing but going to be a very long four weeks getting there. All right. Thank you. Thanks.

What he hasnt told you, hes played nine holes already and nine holes afterwards and you think hes going to a meeting. Joe, there are, like you said, a lot of folks converging in westchester, new york, for this particular event gary player investational, u. S. Its a huge day for charities. I want to start by going there with gary player. First of all, thank you for joining us on cnbc. Its a pleasure. To be here at ann arbor, its a beautiful golf course, beautiful part of the United States. Events taking place in six different companies. So blessed to having a phenomenal sponsor located in germany, United States and europe. We played this event at wentworth in england a few weeks ago. We had 15 major champions playing in the event. The thing thats really just added luster to the event weve got all these lady pros. They are phenomenal at looking after client. Service in any business is such a charitable. How big is this and what kind of charities will it benefit throughout the world. Do you think Charitable Giving is still helping . Absolutely. The people they are changing millions of peoples lives, so gratifies for me, having been poor and struggled as a kid. Golf has never fwn more healthy, professional playing for prize money. Olympic games made a massive difference. I spent two weeks there. I stayed in the village for two and a half days, dined with 11,000 athletes. Went to the gym, same with convenieseren serena, all the great athletes, doesnt matter who it is, phenomenal, the opening ceremony. But the big thing, the golf was of such a high standard, men and women. The crowds. Brazil is not exactly a golfing country. There are young kids there. It was so gratifying and exciting to see. Whats going to happen now in japan . They have 25, 30,000 people there every single day. Now, with the olympics, do you think it was enough, this particular olympics, first time they have had it inside early 1900s, enough to promote more the game of golf within the world realm of sports . Very much so. Weve already had messages from people in smaller countries saying its made such a difference already the excitement. 3. 5 billion people see it. It the biggest show on earth, never mind biggest sporting event with all records broken, phelps, usain bolt. We had a young man from south africa meet Michael Johnsons record, a 77yearold lady who coaches him. Its amazing. Gary, i know the guys back in the studio, joe in particular has a question for you guys as well. Questions and comments. Gary, mr. Player, you actually were on. You said you would have gotten in a row boat from south africa as a player and you would have rowed to play in the olympics. We were talking in light of some of the guys that didnt go. I think they are going to be there next time. Knowing how competitive those guys are, they were watching going watching kuch get a bronze, i thought i was going to start crying when he got the bronze. It was unbelievable. Having been a professional 63 years and traveled more than any human being ever, i was choking as well. I was captain of the team. I would have given in fact, i would have got in a row boat and rowed over just to participate. I must tell you this, the players that didnt play, some of them made a very bad decision but they would have missed, quite honestly the standard of play was so high in such great a field, such great attendance, such enthusiasm and the Media Coverage was phenomenal. In the end, the most important thing the game changed our lives. Remember, wemont be preordained and think were entitled to make this money, entitled to be important because were not. Were just servants of the lord doing a job and work on this earth. I know joe wants to ask another question. The fact that rory didnt go, i bring him up because he specifically said he did not think that his role was to grow the game of golf. Hes there to win tournaments, win majors. Whats your reaction to a comment like that . Well, first of all, hes a very nice young man, a very young man. Hes playing in the open and focused on trying to win the open championship. We must not be too judgmental in life. He has subsequently said hes sorry and made a mistake. I dont know of anybody who doesnt make a mistake in life. We must go ahead and forget about it. Im sure next time hell participate and be a great addition to the field. Gary, that might be because of the golf gods or olympic gold gods put a hex on his putting stroke. Too nice man for that. I cant even watch it. You know, i was thinking about you and your career and Everything Else and you and jack and arne and i get a little bit not sad but you three guys, i dont know what about the sport breeds guys like you, but its, you know, incredible. I know arne cant hit the ball i dont know if he plays at all anymore but watching you guys, thats one of the greatest things at augusta to watch you guys every year. Well, thank you very much for that compliment. I phoned arnold yesterday. Hes a very dear friend. We traveled entire world promoting the game of golf, not asking for these crazy sums of money. One of the things that does perturb me about golf managers are asking for too big a fees and being unreasonable not only in golf but all sports. Weve got to be careful that doesnt burst the bubble. Sponsors will go so far and no further. Get a fee butmo monmon monmon m not be greedy. When is the last time you didnt shoot your age. Maybe 15 years since you debate shoot your age.

Average i beat an average by 10 shots. Yesterday i beat by seven shots in nine holes. The day before i beat eight shots in nine holes. Objectestly ive been playing so well.

Now to politics. Donald trump looking to clarify his stance on illegal immigration. Gop nominee announcing he will give a major speech on the topic wednesday in arizona. New questions raised around Clinton Foundations alleged pay to pay dealings. While Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. Joining us again peter on a few weeks ago, Peter Schweitzer author of the book, executive producer of the film clinton cash. Good to have you back. A lot more has come to light in the last couple of weeks. Ive been looking more closely at the details of the book. Some of the narrative of what happened around it. I go back to the stephanopoulos interview and i kind of see what he was saying, because the clintons are both lawyers. They are so smart that maybe the reason they are above the law is because they always stay like a millimeter above what you can actually prove. Stephanopoulos, god knows what he was thinking but he was right to say that to you, that in the entire book its so damming and smells so bad and so obvious what was going on but theres nothing there that will stick. Is there . Well, i think if the hope that clinton critics had that theres an email out there that says i will do this for you in exchange for that money, that sort of email is not going to exist. The clintons are too smart to put things in writing in that regard. That said, and i responded in this way to George Stephanopoulos at the time. The expectation me as a journalist, reporter, is going to prove a crime is committed is i think a ridiculous standards. What i encourage people to do is look at recent prosecutions for prosecutions in the United States, former governor is alabama, the case involving former governor of virginia, which the Supreme Court has said needs to be retried. Senator menendez in new jersey. In none of those cases do you have a smoking gun or quid pro quo. Its a misnomer when stephanopoulos say you have to show quid pro quo, that certainly hasnt been the case in recent political corruption cases. Peter, its unique. Most president s, they get done and their influence slowly wanes as you go ahead in time. That didnt happen this time. Suddenly his wife is a senator. Suddenly secretary of state, now shes president his price through nothing that they im not saying it was deliberate but it went up. One interesting thing that occurred to me. Weve got a politician in new york who went to lunch and he sent his guys out to get him lunch. They came back, gave him lunch, and then he billed the taxpayers to reimburse these guys. Its like 6,000. This guy is in a heap of trouble. Hes in a heap of trouble for doing it. Bill became an honorary chairman of this laureate university. In four or five years made 17 million personally. Yeah. Yeah. No one cares. No one is on this. No one cares. Well, i might disagree with you a little bit no one cares. I agree with you that it has not got the attention it deserves. Youre exactly right. The level of sophistication the clintons operate is at a very high level. Still, if youre trading favors for money, it is still criminal regardless of under what guise you do it. I think speaking fees are a huge problem for the clintons. Youre quite right. Every ex president from eisenhower to george w. Bush has hit the lecture circuit. Every single one over time saw speaking fees go down. In the case of bill clinton hes getting 150 to 200,000 per speech, which is a lot of money. When his wife becomes secretary of state, literally overnight, those from overseas speaking opportunities sky rockets. It triples overnight. Places like nigeria, russia, who had not sponsored a speech before are lining up to pay these speeches. Thats something that deserves investigation. One can argue it wasnt intentional on the place of the clintons. That doesnt matter. Clintons have been called a lot of things by friends and opponents, naive isnt one of them. They know exactly whats doing on. Thats why i called for independent counsel to investigate these matters so we can get to the bottom of it. Peter, if they were in the private sector, i would say these people are the greatest Business People in the world. You couldnt get contributions from foreign entities, thats something we never allowed, you cant do that. With a foundation you k you usually dont have a Philanthropic Organization doing public works, acting like a public company. Suddenly bill clinton had the stated intention of combining the private sector with Uranium Companies or haitian construction companies. Everything they did was pure genius, but i just feel like the American Public has been played and government has kind of been used to sort of line the pockets of politicians, which is not why they are supposed to be there. I agree with you. Look, ive said this. This is not just about the clintons. This is a widespread problem. I wrote a book a couple of years ago, throw them all out about Insider Trading on the stock market by politicians. The book came out. We did a story on 60 minutes. Congress and president obama signed this great bill to stock act, which eight months later they basically gutted in the dark of night. This is not just unique to the clintons. What is unique to the clintons, which is precisely what you mentioned earlier, foreign money. We know business, labor unions, et cetera, donate to campaigns and candidates because they want access, favors, but its been an american game. Foreign entities cant. With the foundation thats changed, oligarchs in nigeria making massive pledges, millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation. And paying him to give a speech for 650,000. Thats right. I think if were worried about a pac contribution of 10,000 from an American Company gaining access, we darn well better be concerned about access that millions of dollars are getting a foreign oligarch to our pretty cal leaders. Peter, whats the culpability you would assign to the state department in this . Because after Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, they were supposed to clear all outside foreign donations with the state department. Did they just not do that or did the state department turn a blind eye . No, thats a great question. I think the state department by and large worked with what information it was given. The problem is the Clinton Foundation for one reason or another, and we can speculate, i think it was very much intentional, didnt share all that information with the state department. They couldnt act on it. Consider a very basic thing, barack obama in his wyss doom when Hillary Clinton was appointed secretary of state says you can do this but youve got to agree to a couple of things. One is complete transparency. You need to give us the names of all donors to the Clinton Foundation on an annual basis. We now know they didnt do that. Theres more than 1,000 donors overseas they have not revealed. What can the state department do if they are not given that information. So thats very, very troubling. Is there a level of transparency that would be suitable for the foundation Going Forward or do you agree with calls from donald trump and others that the only way that this would be acceptable is to shut the foundation down all the together . I think you need to shut the foundation down. I think we need to have legislation Going Forward that prevents this from happening in the future with anyone else. I just dont think its appropriate whether youre Hillary Clinton as secretary of state or whether youre somebody elses secretary of defense to have a private foundation where youre taking foreign money or a member of congress for that matter. While i have you here, we may need to have you back, i dont know, on retainer. Youre not going to be on georges show again. You dont need to leave your phone open for that. Things keep coming up. Now weve got a lot more stuff is going to hit in september or october, whenever it is. We now know why the private server was so important, obviously. We know why whats a bleach thing called, what is that called . Bleach like a digital shredder, some digital program. Do you think theres something there i just dont think there is, no matter where it is. I just think they are too smart. I dont think theres any way you can see a quid pro quo clearly because they are both lawyers. Youre not going to see a quid pro quo because they dont function that way. But ive seen emails that havent been released that are coming out. Youve got two groups litigating to get these released for years. Youre going to see more emails about high access for Clinton Foundation Board Members when it comes to contracts involving haitian reconstruction and other entities. Youre going to clearly see if you gave money or were connected to the Clinton Foundation you got access and favors. Whether it involves bill or Hillary Clinton youre not going to see that in the emails but i think the evidence will be very damming. Youre pretty nice to the other people in media. You say there has been an actual effort by the times and Washington Post. I dont know. We had a couple Washington Post guys on and they broke the story that trump doesnt read that much. Im not sure that they are on this case yet. Maybe. Hope springs eternal. Peter, thank you. Hope to see you again at some point. S p up more than 6 so far this year. Were going to tell you what to expect from the bull and how much the market owes investors. Squawk box will be right back. Amazing sleep stays with you all day and all night. Sleep number beds with Sleepiq Technology give you the knowledge to adjust forhe best sleep ever. The time is now for the biggest sale othe year, where all beds are on sale save 50 on the labor Day Limited Edition bed. Knowetter sleep. Only at a sleep number store. S p 500 just 1 away from its record high. Mike santoli with what investors expect. Recognize how good weve had it until relatively recently. Past five years, up 16 a year since 2011, late 2011, euro debt crisis, mini bear market we had. 16 a year for s p 500 including dividends. I think whats more striking. If you had average retirement of 60 stocks, 40 bonds, thats actually had one of its best fiveyear stretches in history of the bond market did not sell off, stayed strong. Youve really gotten paid just for staying in the market at all. Of course that result in the stock market that by most statistical measures looked like its pushing up against overvalued stake. Trailing pe on Stock Exchange based on operating earnings pushing 20. Thats the kind of cautionary point that says, look, maybe this market doesnt owe us very much. Then you can dial it back and say in some respects its still a young bull market. Weve only started making new highs. This only acted like a bull market arguably in 2013. Thats when you first made a new high for this cycle. Also relatively modest returns for the decade. 7 for s p going back 10 years. Usually at the end of a strong bull market, that trailing twoyear number is a good deal higher. As we know bull markets overshoot to the upside. Therefore maybe not valuation ceiling Earnings Growth coming back likely in the second half of the year. It seems as if theres two frames you can look at this market. One says keep your expectations modest and maybe youll be surprised at the upside. The strategist in the last several years have gotten the market almost flat wrong. This year the majority of them have their annual target 2180. Should we believe them this time . I dont know if you want to believe them. What you take from that generally expectations have been relatively muted. People came in not expecting great things. Everyone was surprised by the first six weeks of the year when we went down 15 or something. I think buying it and saying at new highs, therefore we want to extrapolate from there. I think its net net a good thing the strategists are not chasing around and trying to outdo each other. If murphys law comes true and we dont instead of going above stall speed and the Global Economy getting better, if it actually does stay where it is or even slow down, rates arent going up. Thats right. No, the rate piece of it is crucial right now. It would at least be kind of a gut check for Interest Rate sensitive areas if rates started to really get a lift. If not, whats really going to change this formula thats worked for a while. Did they had a glide path to 4 . They never said that seriously, did they . I cant see a glide path to 1 with these guys. I think 1 is not that big a hurdle. September . September. November. Oncould be november or december. With the election probably good things. Thats the thing. I think the market is unwilling to begin to really price in december even if most people think it, its a long time in fed time between now and december because weve seen how much that outlook has hanged in two or three months. Cypress, the island could have a hiccup in gdp. Anything can happen. If you get a good number friday, i think the market is at least going to have to start. Consumer in thats something janet watches. Its data and they are dependent on it. All data matters. It does. That was kayla. I already did. Did you thank him . Was it a sincere thank you . Well do it again, thank you, mike. Mylan launching generic version of epipen. That was sincere. Everything comes out following backlash over the companys pricing target. More when we come back an joining taos explain. Utaos expl. Welcome back to squawk box, mylan announcing this morning it will launch generic epipens at 50 discount. More on the story youve been following from the get go. Thats right. Amid the outcry over the rising cost of epipen, people said what if we have competition, that would lower the price. Lo and behold we have competition and its coming from mylan itselfitself. The Company Announcing it will make it available for 300 for twopack, half the price of branded pen, identical to the product and going to launch in a couple weeks. Here is what you need to know about an authorized generic. This isnt typical for a company to do when they are about to face generic competition they ondo often come out with authorized generic. They dont need fda to do this. This is so identical it could be swapped in by pharmacist when your doctor writes epipen on your prescription. Now, people are starting to question why would they do this now . They dont have the generic competitor, further response to outcry. Mylan ceo Heather Bresch saying its because of the complexity and opaqueness of branded pharm supply chain and shifting of cost as a result of high deductible plans. Offering an additional alternative was the best option. Again, pointing the finger at the middleman here. Analysts are scrambling to figure out what the impact will be. Mylan stock rising this morning. Teva has been trying to get a generic competitor to market is falling slightly in the premarket. Bernstein coming out with, while this measure combined with last week assistance to patients will probably impact revenue for epipens by 25 . But the reason you may see the stock reacting positively right now is this just takes epipen out of the stock. It relieves pressure, hopefully for mylan gets rid of the controversy. Kayla had the best question earlier. Who is to determine which one you get when you need it . Who would want the more expensive one now . This is a great question, the psychology of brand versus generic. When its identical product made by manufacturer, who would want 600 versus 300 authorized identical version. When your doctor writes a prescription for epipen when this becomes available, your pharmacist will be able to swap in generic epipen. Thats determined by insurance plan, pharmacy benefit plan whether you get generic swapped in. If you demand to have the branded epipen, you can ask your doctor to write that on your prescription. Our friend had an article about this. Theres a pot of money for health care thats there. Its there either way. Everybody is just jockeying to try to get a piece. I could see if someone wanted a more experiencive version and stick it to medicaid or Insurance Company they are not involved in the price decision. If medicaid or Insurance Company going to pick up the cost. Higher copay, might make more sense for generic. All this crazy game and how to play it depending on who is actually going to pay for it. Does it take away incentive for sanofi or teva pursuing another generic if theres already another one on the market . Its an important question. Perhaps this helps mylan get ownership of the generic market before teva comes along. They had the agreement teva could launch in 2015 but it got rejected by fda. Whether they continue at the same speed is a good question. Also raises the note while sanofi continues partnership on that, people working on it may bring it back to market, too. What role, we had the doctor on at jobs hopkins, what role does epi play in this conversation. Some critics say slow to approve drugs, did not approve teva generic. Its a great question. Fda involved in broader echo system of big backlog of generic drugs. Maybe they need to have better priorities, reordered priorities in terms of making sure there arent shortages or lack of competition. In this case we dont know why teva wasnt approved. Only certain deficiencies cited. We dont know if thats fda being slow or whether tevas generic wasnt good enough. Okay, thanks. Thanks, guys. Coming up onsquawk box minutes away from breaking Economic News july personal spending and income. Well be right back. Your monecd multiply. Hello, all of you. Get organized at voya. Com. Welcome back to squawk box f news. Getting july read on income and spending. On the income side, good number, up. 4 exactly as expected and we gained a tenth on last month. June originally. 2, now. 4. Spending side as expected up. 3 and we gained a tenth up from. 3 to. 4. This data isnt bad. We always like to see income driven up. Since were consumptiondriven economy spending important, too. Deflator unchange. Personal real spending up. 3. If we go through core personal Consumption Expenditure month over month up. 1. Core pc up 1. 6. Now maybe the fed likes to look at that more than the fact the cpi core, two for nine, ten months in a row. Doesnt matter what your metric is. If they get the growth right, get the pricing they want and more. Back to you. Rick, thanks so much. A new Research Report by Jpmorgan Chase institute has found that 1 of u. S. Senior citizens, about 400,000 seniors are now participating in the gig economy, working for Companies Like uber and lyft. While the extra money the trend has a downside. Diana ferrell, ceo of Jpmorgan Chase institute. Good to see you that phones joining us. Thanks for having me back. Very interesting trend, maybe participating in the gig economy than we expected. I think thats right. Weve had across all age groups, we have some 3 of adults participated in the gig economy. Even among seniors, 1 , 400,000 seniors are either performing tasks on the gig economy or selling products, renting rooms in their house. Thats a pretty meaningful number in its own right but growing at a pretty fast rate. You say they are earning in your word nontrivial amounts of money. Ku characterize it and give usa sense of what kind of dollars were talking about . Traditionally seniors have earned most of their income from Social Security or other annuities that come through. Thats been the majority of their income. Today they are earning as much as 30 . For those that participated in the gig economy as much as 30 of their income is coming from these platforms. Thats quite meaningful. For the rest of the young people who participate even more than seniors do, by and lashlg they only have about 25 of their income coming from the economy. Its a meaningful part, a growing part, and its a good thing in the sense they are able to rely on this income, more spending power. But it does have a bit of a shadow to it because Social Security and other annuities by and large are very stable forms of income. Once you start introducing more labor income as younger people tend to have, seniors are starting to see volatility income characterized for most people. Thats a new phenomenon, opportunities to help seniors manage that volatility even as they have higher income because they now are participating in the gig economy. Help me understand why this is happening. Are seniors spending more so they need to keep up with the pace of their lifestyle while also saving less just because savers, we all know whats happened to savers under this low Interest Rate environment weve been in for the last eight or nine years . Well, its a bit of a paradox. I would say first answer to why is this happening, we have older people, 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every year. These days thats a Pretty Healthy population. They want to work, want to stay engaged. Maybe not in a fulltime capacity, not in a traditional job but this offers them opportunity to participate in society actively on their own terms and only as much as they want. Thats part of the answer. I think the other part, theres a lot of economic anxiety around retirement, around the future. So despite the fact we see seniors earning more income on the economy, on the online economy, they are not spending more. They are actually spending at a slower rate than they have been spending in the past. And in large part thats probably because they are starting to think about needing to plan for retirement. There have baseball other factors that probably have contributed to the slowdown. As you know in the last year Social Security has not received the cost of living increases it has in the past. People see that as a concern and therefore less willing to spend. Seniors did not get the same wind in their sails from lower gas prices because by and large they dont spend as much on gas. They dont get that boost other age groups got to a high degree. In general the stock market hasnt done as well in the past five years. That tends to slow down spending for those people who have stock in their portfolio. All these things are interesting because you do see more participation, more income but not necessarily more spending associated for people over 65. You do say income among this group can be more volatile which averages 20 month to month. Ku explain that . Sure. As i mentioned, most people, young people, adults in general, most of their income comes from labor. So you have high degrees of volatility that come from different hours work, bonuses at the end of the year, different deductions. Most people who rely primarily on labor income have higher levels of volatility. Traditionally older people have had lower volatility because most of their income is not from labor, its from more stable sources like Social Security or other annuities that are monthly same amount paid out. Now as more older people start working in the labor market that has a high degree of volatility, they will start seeing volatility more akin to what younger adults typically see. Its a double edged swod, more income, less stable and people dont plan all that well. Appreciate the time this morning. Thank you so much. Thank you very much for having me. Jpmorgan institute ceo.

This is space port, planet earth, 876543210 is our zip code. This 27square mile space port west of the missile range has two big customers, Richard Bransons Virgin Galactic paying a million a year, 20year lease, to use the space for launching tourist toss space and space ex which plans to be launches for here. It has been operational three years, several suborbital launches but still running at a deficit. Virgin has not done a launch, nor has space ex. Were ready for both of them but neither one has gotten to that point yet. Are you too soon . I dont think were too soon. After all we have done 28 vertical launches so far. People on the cutting edge always get pushed back. If it werent for facilities like ours kind of leading the way, our species would never make progress. Were taking heat now but im confident in another few years they will look back and say, wow, those people were really smart. They are trying to diversify their income meantime, car commercials, a movie with gary oldman coming out. Still they expect to make about 75 of what they need to cover operational expenses this year, up to 90 next year and cash flow positive in 2018 even if virgin and space ex dont launch. Speaking of those two well have an update on them on squawk alley.

Not much happened at the close and not a whole lot of reaction today, soso much for that. What do we take away from that business as usual . I dont know. I thought there was a bit of changing of the guard midday to afternoon after the interview with dan fisher, basically banks took off. Its tangible book val. I saw all the regional banks take off and also saw the industrials which kind of a little counterintuitive the dollar was going higher, the industrialing will get hurt and started hating health care, the spillover maybe about the mylan situation. I saw the banks move and group so far behind the market kite run a long time. Is that after after yellen initially the dollar week weakened, didnt it . Right. And fisher strong after that. They seem to be a tagteam that fisher is the advance man to talk about the bad news and yellen walks it back and youre thrilled that you dont go with the fisher doctrine but at the same time, obviously, shes putting september on the red hot griddle. I believe there should be a tightening in september. Enough. We have good data. Really . So youre fine with that. What are the chances there will be . Well look i think we get an employment number and its strong you almost have to. Weve got housing strong be we have a lot of Consumer Spending thats gotten better. I certainly think that the Employment Situation is safe enough and i also think ta boy, it would be great to end the talk of do one and done. Do one and then youre open for december we will have a run in the financials and a lot of decline in health care and consumer package goods. The utilities and reits, wow.

That was something. I love watching really, that was all just personal, and what happened to that hug . The last of it. I dont know. I thought they were friends. Should never talk about what the other guy is going to do. No. Ackman doesnt play by the same rules as the rest of us. No. Thats okay. Maybe hes a trend setter and maybe hes at the vanguard of revealing secrets of er firms. Maybe i should say always a seller and i may not know that but listen, corrected and move on. All right. Jim, well see you look forward to halftime and i bet we mention some of that stuff. See you in a couple minutes. You will be with us for the hour. We have to get the estimate. Whats carl using. Dont you think in the end, scott, he has some sort of earnings per share number for 2017 . I think he has a lot of numbers hes thinking about these days. Im looking at normalized earnings pattern after the change in the ftc. Great to get his normalized and 2017 matching numbers for doing a silo and then another silo. I think it all comes down to whether he thinks it can do 450 after the bank deal. Ill see what he thinks on that. Yeah. Just want that earnings per share projection. You got it. See you in a bit.
